Cooking Steps
Pat pork dry with paper towels and slice, very thinly, crosswise into strips.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and sliced onion; season with salt, pepper, and half the cumin (all for 4 servings). Cook, stirring occasionally, until pork is cooked through and onion has softened, 4-6 minutes.
While pork is cooking, heat a large drizzle of oil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add minced onion, fajita spice, and a pinch of salt; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant and tender, 30 seconds.
Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels; microwave until warm and pliable, 30 seconds.
